Well, I was hoping that this board would be a little more 'happening', but I guess I can get some dialogue rolling! I am a 32yo mom of three, scheduled to get banded on 1/29! I am on day 7 of the preop diet and it's not bad! (and I've lost 14 lbs, so that is incentive!!:thumbup:)

I am excited that we are at the age that we can still 'start over'! This band will absolutely change my life.

Let me know how much you are loving your band! :smile:

Congrats to getting approved for the lap band. I have had mine only a week and must say I am so happy I did this for me . This is a whole new beginning and I can't be more excited . I go back to the LB Doctor on the 27TH ,and I have not weighed myself yet I 'm waiting for the shocker affect I know most of it will be water weight ,but the less pounds the better .I will take anything I can get for now .Again Best Wishes and welcome to the forum

Hey congrats on getting the band. It can change your life, but remember you have to do your part too. I am happy for you and wish the best of luck!!!!!

Hi,

Great job on the preop diet. Getting my band was the best thing I ever did for myself, it's giving me my life back. Good luck to you.:thumbup:

It works if you work it! I heard a story this morning from someone who's daughter had the surgery over a year ago and hadn't lost anything. That just tells me that they are expecting the band to do all the work for them and it just doesn't work that way.

Use it as a tool and it will help but you still have to do most of the work yourself!

Hey kristilaw!! I told you I don't come on here much... today's my first time since April 08 when I found out I was pregnant. I'm here searching for answers and advice, I think I might have an overfill from 3/6 if I'm reading right... guess I'll be going back soon for a slight unfill. I'm sick constantly and the weightloss is not happening, but I'm hopeful! Looks like you're doing great! Everything going ok for you?
